Heavy metal monster Jon Mikl Thor was front and center in the cult-favorite supernatural creature feature ROCK ’N’ ROLL NIGHTMARE, and New York and Philadelphia fans can see him in person this weekend as he tours to promote his new documentary I AM THOR!

James McAvoy, the Scottish actor who plays the British title character in VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN (opening November 25 from Fox), recalls a disagreement he had with the film’s costume designer Jany Temime over what the corpse-resurrecting scientist should wear. “Jany is a fantastic costume designer, she’s Oscar-winning, she’s incredible—but she came in with a whole idea for my character, which I didn’t share, so I put my foot down on that.

Once again, the creative forces at Dark Regions Press have cooked up something rather nasty and exquisite—another helping of Clive Barker. Coming off their MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN Special Definitive Edition, the publisher has cranked it up a notch with THE BODY BOOK, currently available for pre-order.

When it comes to the various scare fare fright fans subject themselves on a regular basis, there are only about three different categories these films can fall into. The first would be “good”, which would describe well-crafted, entertaining stories that can be a masterpiece at its best or, at the very least, fairly decent. The second would be “bad”, as in poorly-written and clumsily executed that can range from dull, lifeless dreck to the promising yet criminally flawed. The last would likely be “the weird”, comprised of the fantastical, bonkers, illogical, surreal or off-beat which is objectively not for everyone but could subjectively be some viewer’s favorite films. And it’s firmly in the latter category that Scream Factory’s Blu-ray double feature of TROLL and TROLL 2 exist, offering two movies that, while not necessarily the cream of the crop, are far too insane and imaginative to disregard.

The 1986 horror/comedy hit HOUSE, staring William Katt and directed and produced respectively by FRIDAY THE 13TH veterans Steve Miner and Sean S. Cunningham, is about to get a reboot. FANGORIA got the exclusive details from Cunningham himself.

A ghost of Christmas past haunts a few of the characters in an exclusive excerpt (with a bit of NSFW language) you can see past the jump from A CHRISTMAS HORROR STORY, coming to deliver holiday fear on disc next week.

As clever and exciting as the SCREAM franchise has been over the years, one of the franchise’s implicit flaws was never quite looking at Sidney Prescott’s psychological ramifications following each surpassing incident. In fact, very few horror franchises have addressed the trauma of surviving a “horror movie” scenario, and the few that have rarely do so in a realistic manner. And it’s exactly that realism that Benjamin R. Moody’s LAST GIRL STANDING attempts to ground itself in, investigating the “final girl” archetype through a post-modern lense that offers one of the most engrossing subversions on the genre in quite some time.

Even though Halloween is in the horror community’s collective rearview mirror, Scream Factory continues to offer various treats to horror Blu-ray collectors. But with Christmas around the corner, fright fans might be wary about what terror titles to stuff their stockings this holiday season. Luckily, FANGORIA has the latest scare fare from the specialty horror distributor, and in this review round-up, horror hounds can better decide which Scream Factory releases are best suited for their home media collection.

Last weekend, Times Scare hosted dozens upon dozens of excited fright fans at the 14th Annual New York City Horror Film Festival. And while horror icons such as FRIDAY THE 13TH director Sean Cunningham and HALLOWEEN 3 actor Tom Atkins received honorary awards from the festival, the festival formally announced its various cinematic winners late Sunday night, with the grand prize going to Levan Bakhia’s LANDMINE GOES CLICK.
